Changed: Reminder Around My Neck

March 6, 2017April 27, 2017

I have a fair assortment of necklaces, most special for some reason or another, but I always seem to favor this one. Wear it nearly every day. There’s an Origami Owl locket, gifted by a dear friend and holding significant baubles, a vintage typewriter J key (because duh), plus this charm which says “changed.”

Bought that soon after my divorce—so hard to believe that all started right at six years ago—because I knew then that I should recognize the change in ME which caused my waking up and leaving. Fast forward the way time does…

Now the charm usually hangs around my neck with no thought from me, but occasionally — like this morning — I catch sight of it and remember I still celebrate my change, and can’t forget how thankful I am for it.
